I hate the term "supporting palestine/israel".

"Oh so you support Israel"

"he supports palestine, I know it"

Shut the fuck up.

A bloodsoaked conflict that has taken the life of so many people, palestinian and Israeli, is not something you get to pick and choose which side you want to survive.

It's not a fandom. It's not a football match that you can pick the team you support.

This is a real war, a real war that between two very real groups of people, none less deserving of peace and security than the other.

Stop contributing to the notion that Israelis and palestinians are natural born enemies who can't coexist.

The only side you should support is the side of peace.

Honestly, I have so much love and respect for my Israeli mutuals and followers - when the world is yelling that your home shouldn't exist, that for a perfect, just world in the future, it must be destroyed or dismantled; when the world celebrates and justifies horrendous and inhuman crimes against you; when the world has stripped you of your humanity entirely, preferring to pretend that you're all evil monsters for the purposes of their simplistic "good vs evil, black vs white" outlook, you're all just continuing to live your lives, standing strong and proud of who you are and where you come from. You will always have a friend and ally in me.

Was reading a piece about how calling out antisemitism can get twisted into being “against free speech.” You know the type: if you say something’s antisemitic, suddenly you’re the problem.

"Even naming it—that is, calling out bigotry against Jews—can be classed as yet another sign of assumed evil intent, of Jews attacking beloved principles of justice for all. In an April 2023 lecture, David Nirenberg, the historian, presented the example of an activist with a large following whose boundary-pushing rhetoric met with accusations of anti-Semitism. The activist pointed out, as Nirenberg put it, that anti-Semitism 'was merely an accusation that Jews used to silence criticism and squash free speech.' He brought libel lawsuits against newspapers that accused him of anti-Semitism, and won them. It is unfortunate for those making this argument today that this activist was named Adolf Hitler.”

"disagreeing with this is step 1 of being a zionist" is a great way to shut down any chance of being exposed to uncomfortable facts like "Actually yeah, the Holocaust primarily targeted Jews"

Holy fucking shit.
